~:[CH8 - Day 128]:~ The Match Up of Life
Our badminton is great. They're ranked #4 in CIF in all divisions, however, they matched up against the #1 who had all kinds of top end players on their squad. Sometimes you just get those types of match ups in life. You work hard, you're talented, you got some breaks, yet, life doesn't always dish you out favorable results. You're going to fall, you're going to fail, life isn't going to be "fair," but can you expect it to be? That's the match up of life. Life is definitely tough, but you have to dig your feet into the group and face it straight on. It will raise you up and smash you back to the ground, push you and pull you and make you smile and tears, sometimes almost simultaneously. Of course, we can sit and complain or mope about it, but it won't do any good. We just need to have some grit and battle to the best of our abilities. We need to grind through the stress of the day, focus on those challenging issues we face, and stay hopeful, even when life takes loved ones away from us. We're going to have fights, we're going to lose people, we're going to fail, but it doesn't mean we ever give up and it doesn't mean we ever stop fighting. Life is Darwinism, but Darwinism is a survival of the fittest, but it doesn't always mean physically. If we can work on all aspect of ourselves, practice by facing challenges head on, and reaching out to those around you just as much as you allow them to lean on you, then I think you're read for this match up that life has for you. Eventually you will break through and while you may be that one creature that will never get to the top of the food chain, there isn't a reason you cannot try to get to the top. It's life and as long as you have the confidence that you're ready, you'll be able to handle this match up with our toughest opponent of all, life.
